AP4.4 – AP5.4

Installing the Printer

Unpacking the printer

1. Remove all loose objects from the packaging.

2. Carefully lift the printer together with the polystyrene cushions out of the

box. Have a second person keep hold of the box while you remove the prin-

ter.

Fig. 1: AP5.4 in the original packaging.

3. Remove the polystyrene cushions and plastic wrap from the printer. Having

someone else help you with this will also make it easier!

4. Place the printer on an even surface.

Carrying the Printer

One person can easily carry the AP4.4/5.4 because it only weighs 14kg.

«To carry the printer, grip the baseplate from the front and rear (see Fig. 1).

¯CAUTION! - Do not lift the printer by holding the plastic parts on the front

and rear! This could damage the printer.

¯CAUTION! - Do not grip the front cover when attempting to carry the prin-

ter! This could damage the printer.

Fig. 2: When lifting the printer, grip under the baseplate!

Packaging ¯Please retain the original packaging for later use when transporting the

printer!

AP4.4 – AP5.4

Modes of Operation AP5.4 Dispenser / Internal Rewinder

With the AP5.4 featuring an internal rewinding module, a label can either be

dispensed (using the dispensing edge) or rewound into the printer housing

(using the deflector) after it is printed.

•Iftheprinter’sDispenserisused,thelabelispulledoverthedispensing edge,

and the backing paper is rewound.

•If its Rewinder is used, the printed label is redirected by a deflector and

rewound together with its backing paper.

The electronics of the rewinder regulate the pull force exerted on the backing

paper so that the same force is exerted regardless of the roll diameter. The

pull force also depends on the material width and the printing speed. The pull

force is either regulated automatically using default parameters, or it can be

set manually.

¯Manual setting is only required in special circumstances and should

always be carried out by a qualified authorised service technician.

After the printer is switched on, the rewinder is initialised and the label

material is stretched.

If a print job has already been received, the printer searches for the first

punch at reduced print speed. The label material is wound forward by the

distancebetween thepunchsensorandthe printhead(70mm).Thisdistance

is used by the rewinder’s control electronics to calculate the diameter of the

backing paper roll already wound up. To enable the control electronics to

calculate diameters even when using continuous material, printing is also

suspended for the first 70 mm. Processing of the print job then commences

at the print speed set on the printer or by the print job.

Should operational issues occur, the rewinder is switched off automatically.

When the maximum diameter of the backing paper roll is reached, a

corresponding message is displayed and the rewinder is switched off

automatically.

Dispenser

Modes The following modes of operation are available for the dispenser:

•Dispenser Mode with Dispensing Edge Sensor:

Material is fed right up to the dispensing edge, that is the label to be

dispensedstickstothedispensing edge(setdispensingposition).Theprinter

only feeds the next unprinted label backwards underneath the printhead and

begins printing, once the previous label has been taken off.

•Dispenser Mode with Foot Switch:

Depressing the foot switch triggers the printing and dispensing of one label.

The next unprinted label is immediately positioned under the printhead.
